Having just checked the highest chart psotion ratings for NEW I notice it has done the poorest in Australia. Sadly I am not surprised as Paul very rarely features in the media down under and hasn't toured for a very very long peiod here. Whether it matters or not is detable, but I think Paul is beginning to be forgotten in Australia due to lack of promotion etc in this country. It shows that to achieve good sales you need to promote and be seen.

I probably wouldnt bother seeing him if he came. The price for even poor seats would be like 500+, and his voice is not in the best shape now, and I don't really need to hear the same songs played the same way live...

Do massive rearrangements(different composition) of songs, and place more importance on the varied catalogue of solo material... Then I may be interested.

here's a question...why does he need to promote a new release to the relatively small niche that is already his fanbase? I would have bought his new disc regardless of whether he did kimmel, letterman, leno...whatever. in fact...for those who know me...I avoided hearing anything new till my cd was delivered...slowly...from japan. point is...there was virtually no promotion I saw/heard. the fact I was aware of a new release was enough to excite me to buy it. the press at least let you guys know it was upcoming, right? paul fans tend to buy paul albums. if there aren't many fans down there...maybe a bit of promotion wouldn't have helped much.

and as always...nice to see you, laz.

I want to tell her that I love her a lot, but I got to get a belly full of wine.
